A month ago, 26 Auguest 2005, ICANN General Counsel and Secretary John O. Jeffrey responded to my last e-mail to ICANN with the seemingly encouraging words, "Thank you for your response, we will review all of the materials that you have submitted to date and get back to you." Not surprisingly, I've heard nothing from him, or anyone at ICANN, in the month since.

I have received no further communication from ICANN in the last month.

More than 5 months have passed since my requests for independent review of the (lack of) openness and transparency in the ".travel" decision by ICANN, and for a stay of that decision pending independent review.

In the meantime, ICANN in its role as IANA made a recommendation for the addition of ".travel" to the root. The existence of a pending request for independent review and stay of ".travel" was not mentioned in this report.
